Pressing Forward in the Truth
By Seth Newton
Bro. White: I wish to say to the dear brethren and sisters that I feel like pressing forward and doing every duty, taking up my cross daily and striving to live out the truths of the third angel's message. I feel that there is much for us to do if we live out the truth before the world. We here at Crane's Grove are, I trust, all trying to overcome and get ready for the coming of our dear Saviour, who has given his life for us that we through him might have eternal life. Let us press on, searching our own hearts daily; for we are in the sifting time, and we see that some are being sifted out. Time is short for us to work, and what we have to do must be done quickly. Let us look to Jesus for that strength that we need; for we know that without him we cannot do anything. Oh, that each of us might feel our weakness and our dependence on Jesus, so that we might please the Lord and do his will. I feel glad to say that three more here have come out on the Lord's side, and are now trying to keep all of God's commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city. Pray for us, dear brethren and sisters, that we may so live as to meet you finally on Mt. Zion with that redeemed company that have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
